Elsenhower Asks Tighter Bill on Labor President Cites Three Points as Having Weakness WASHINGTON dent Eisenhower called on Congress today for tighten- ing of the Senate's labor con- trol bill at three points. Eisenhower told his news conference that the measure passed by the Senate has very definite weaknesses. He said, he is very disap- pointed with it. The President said he be- lieves the House should write in amendments to (1) curb secondary boycotts, (2) out- aw blackmail picketing ..nd clarify the no-man's-iand area where the authority of the National Labor Relations Board and'that of the states is cloudy. EISENHOWER WAS asked if he feels it necessary to have such amendments in light of the "bill of rights" for labor that was voted into the Senate measure. Eisenhower replied that as it first was offered by Sen John McClellan he thought the bill-of-rights pro pbsal was a fine thing. But he said a compromise' which finally was adopted} was not a. real substitute for the'kind of thing that should have been done. THE SUBSTITUTE was sponsored by Sen.

(Big Red) Webster, a Dallas businessman attending a convention here, found his 16-year-old runaway step-daughter in the cha-cha chorus line of a French Quarter night club. Angered and shocked, Webster slipped from the club and returned minutes later with two policemen.
